About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document for BOAST RFOP PANDTA-26-P-033259, a solicitation for Cradle Assembly (NSN 1005-01-584-8639, Part Number 12521588) issued by Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal under the Basic Ordering Agreement Sustainment Track (BOAST) program.
The Q&A document addresses procedural and technical inquiries from prospective vendors regarding the 53-unit procurement. Key procedural guidance includes instructions for accessing the export-controlled Technical Data Package (TDP) through SAM.gov for vendors certified under the Joint Certification Program (JCP), and clarification on locating component drawings within the TDP file structure (EH6C0370EH_00 > Images > 00 folder). Multiple vendors requested solicitation deadline extensions citing delays from sub-tier manufacturers and insufficient time for vendor responses; the Government initially denied all extension requests but ultimately granted a deadline extension to 28 August 2026 via Amendment 0001. Technical questions raised by vendors include clarification on drawing accuracy regarding Item 11 (Key Ring, Light Weight, NSN 83511-90494) shown on Drawing 12521588 and interpretation of coating requirements in relation to paint specifications on Drawing 1252160, with the Government indicating engineering review would require 1-2 weeks to address these concerns.

| Number | QUESTION | ANSWER | |
| 1 | We are new to the BOAST program and wanted to inquire on how to get the technical data so we can quote some of these opportunities. When I search the NSN listed in the opportunity in DLA DIBBS, nothing shows up. We have a BOA and the JCP. Are we supposed to request the technical data directly from you? I would really appreciate your guidance. | You would request the TDP access directly via SAM.gov. Please ensure you are not using DLA DIBBS as this procurement is with Army Contracting Command [ACC]. As long as the person requesting access is listed as a data custodian on JCP, and JCP is active, you should get approved. | |
| 2 | We got the assembly drawing fro the Carddle Assembly. The component drawings seem to be missing, we will need these drawings to quote. | The full TDP zip file has been uploaded. Sorry for any confusion. | |
| 3 | Drawing package seems to be incomplete. | We've reached out to the Engineers for guidance. More to come. | |
| 4 | We need to request drawings for the following sub-components below. | ||
| We only have the top part number drawing and SPI from the TDP download – was it missing, or did we overlook something ? Can you help me please as the supplier is needing this to support our pricing. | Please navigate to the Technical data package TDP [2X] >EH6C0370EH_00 [2X] > Images > 00 [2x] > All Drawings should be found here< We apologize for any confusion. | ||
| 5 | We respectfully request an extension of the solicitation closing date. An extension of two weeks would provide sufficient time to receive the outstanding vendor responses and submit a well-supported, competitive offer that fully complies with the solicitation requirements. | Thank you for your continued interest in the BOAST RFOP PANDTA-26-P-0000 033259. |
At this time, we will not be extending the solicitation deadline. Please be aware that circumstances can change, and an extension may be considered at a later date. Therefore, we highly recommend that you continue to develop your proposal to be in the best position possible should the opportunity for a later submission arise.
6 We request a 30-day extension on BOAST RFOP PANDTA-26-P-033259. We have a delay in our sub-tier manufacturer’s ability to provide a quote, limiting our ability to provide a response. This extension will enable broader competition for this item. Thank you for your continued interest in the BOAST RFOP PANDTA-26-P-0000 033259.

| 8 | I am requesting any additional TDP information that is not in SAM.gov.

10 We have technical questions and request clarification in regards to the drawings associated with NSN 1005-01-584-8639:
1. Drawing 12521588, Item 11 (NSN 83511-90494 – Key Ring, Light Weight) The drawing appears to identify Item 11 with an arrow pointing to what looks like a sheet metal subassembly plate rather than a ring. Based on the nomenclature and available information, we understand Item 11 to be a key ring.
Could you please confirm whether the drawing contains an error or if Item 11 (90494) is intended to be a sheet metal subassembly?
2. Drawing 1252160, Note 10 Note 10 states: "Indicated holes and surfaces shall be free of paint."
Could you please confirm whether this requirement applies only to paint, or if it also applies to the phosphate coating specified in MIL-STD-171, Finish 5.3.2.3? We have forwarded these questions to our engineering team for review. Regrettably, they require 1-2 weeks to assess and respond. There is a possibility that this solicitation may conclude before we obtain their feedback. Nevertheless, we will share their response on this platform promptly upon receipt.
